Meet the Owner

Cruz — Owner & Master Barber

I'm Cruz! I'm known as one of the fastest barbers in Lake County — currently a contender for the Guinness World Record of 5 skin fade haircuts in 14 minutes — and I specialize in freehand fades. I started barbering at just 17 years old, fascinated by making people look great and leave with a smile.

After high school I joined the military, and that was the start of my craft — cutting hair in a timely, efficient manner between drills and on off time, while traveling to Italy, France, Greece, Egypt, the UAE and Spain. After my service I went to barber school in Chicago to perfect my skills, then worked 6 years at a barber shop here in Mundelein.

I got so busy that it was time to open my own shop: Faded Best Barber Shop. My goal is to prove a barber shop is a happy place — not just for a haircut, but for the whole experience. I won't give up. Thank you, everyone — welcome to Faded Best. Blessings.
